What are the sexiest components ever made?

As Enzo Ferrari had said that the XKE was the most beautiful/sexiest car ever made (his opinion, not mine).  How about high end audio products?  There have to be some that sex was thought about by the designers?  

Not the most exotic, but like a classic Mercedes or Packard,..there is a reason the Linn 12 has been around as long as it has.  Yamaha had that slanted cassette deck, and I hope you can add to this list and, if possible, add a photo. 

 I think a young Barbi Benton holding even an 8-track player would be very attractive.

1.  B&O 4002 turntable.  The only piece of equipment women fawned over.

2. Nakamichi Dragon from same era. Stunning at night.

3. Esoteric X-03se. The way the drawer and mechanism work is very, um, satisfying.

4.  But the winner for me is the Continuum Caliburn turntable.  I mean that thing is a work of art.  Can't afford it but hey a used one might come up....

Quad ESL 57s - and they are theft proof as well unless you are unlucky enough to be burgled by the radiant heater thief.
